A St. Louis couple, Jay and Denise Hartz, have made an offer to buy the now-closed Hotel Pattee in Perry, reports DesMoinesRegister.com. The hotel drew raves from travel writers after a California couple with ties to Perry renovated it in 1997, but it has struggled to make money. Perry officials say they hope the extension of the Raccoon River Valley Trail through Perry will help bring in business.
